iPhone X running iOS 12.3.2
4 digit numeral password
I have a mental illness and was arrested for trying to light a car on fire. Anyways the police took my phone and I pleaded guilty in court, and now I'm getting treatment for my illness.
However, after the court, the police decides to give back my phone and make me sign that I received it. 30 minutes later they changed their minds and decided to take it again lol.
I refused to give my password, I was kind of pissed about it. There's nothing on it related to the case.
So what are their options for both logical and psychical extraction?
The phone was in USB Restricted Mode, so my guess is they can't brute force my phone? Brute forcing my phone would be a child's play since it's a 4 digit numeral code.
If they decide to install a jailbreak root, maybe their own or something like Checkra1n/Checkm8 then they would have to put the phone in DFU mode right? They would enter the before first unlock mode. (BFU) and not be able to extract media files? Keychain and so on?
I'm aware they could brute force with the jailbreak, but they would only have 10 tries so odds are 1 in 10000?
I know they can't decrypt the phone since Apple uses AES 256 bit encryption, also I deleted iCloud backup and changed Apple ID password as well as enabling two-factor authenticator on the cloud.
Also, they wouldn't be able to decrypt the password on the iPhone since it's on the secure enclave which doesn't trust the BootRoom which Checkra1n exploits?
And also there exists no iTunes backup of the phone noir any paired devices.
I guess it would be impossible to unlock it right? What are their options?
I'm aware they could plant a keylogger with checkra1n but I’m just gonna reboot the phone when it's handed back thus deleting the keylogger and restore the entire phone as well before using it again.
Thx for reading!
Here are the questions again.
Their options for logical extraction and what would the extraction include of files?
Their options for physical extraction?
Brute forcing?
BFU, DFU, USB Restricted Mode?
Jailbreaking it?
What are their options?
On the day it was taken, they asked for the password and they said I could have it back in 2 days, or it would take them 1-2 months to break it. (we’re past 2 months now) They threatened to give the phone to their technician the same day if I didn't deliver the code before a certain time of the day.
The day after they called again, asked for the password again and threatened to deliver to the technician again.
A week later, same call and the same threat
I didn't deliver the password ofc, and they never bugged me about it again, so I’m assuming the technician has it and he’s hopefully struggling with this.
The case is not serious, no one was in danger and I’m not punished before.
Also worth noting, I live in Scandinavia, our police are pretty busy with more serious crimes and I doubt they would waste money on this. Hopefully!
I don’t trust giving the police access to all my data including keychain with all my accounts and credit card info. Our government have been exposed to many hacks and leaks and our healthcare info, social security and so on are not protected well at all. I trust apple’s security more than our government lol.
Best regards, thx for replying in advance!
